WASHINGTON, Dec. l4.-1he anarchists agi-
tation and the general socialist movements in
the country have called the attention OF a
number OF congressman TO the expedlcncy OF
making some legal provision, which shall have
the effect to prevent the United States from
becoming the asylum OF professional reyolu-
.louists and those who believe In reform by
murder. Representative George F. Adams
has formulated his views on the subject In a
bill i, am accurate synopsis OF which has been
published, aud the scope and purpose OF which
! have been generally misunderstood. The fol-
I lowing authorized interview will explain ex.
actly what MIR. Adams means. He said:

Mr.. Adams was asked if there would be any
danger of expelling persons unjustly, and re-
piled: mo; at least once in a Thousand
times, for the president would certainly be
careful to do no injustice. To make this more
certain have provided in the bill that notice |
should be given to the person to be expelled,
80 he and his friends could present a defence
to the president. ] suggested at first that the
allen 10 be expelled might apply to a United
states Judge and present the defence to him, !
but that " as objected to on the ground that |
such defence could as well be made to the |
president direct by sffidayits or lettersn

answered: 'In my opinion that would NOT |

To remove an alien from the United States is |
not to punish him for a crime. 1t is simply to |
remove person whose presence here is iniurf- |

interests require him to be removed

inquiry before court officer like a United |

mere IS an interesting article in a recent re-
Few, respecting the character and origin of
what IS Called nibilism. II is not natural to |
American soil, nor the soil of Western
Europe. 1t Is product in Russia of
a. conflict between Asiatic meth
edHcation Of Western Europe, which has pro.
iuced state Of things that il it does, not
Justify nihIism, at least gives a reason for
It's existence. Persons who believe i'm reform |
By murder are likely to exist in Russia until a
revolution comes, By which the constitution
Df that country shall be changed,
and until that time ideas Of nihlism
are likely to overflow from Russia into Western
Europe and into this country. 1t is our dnty
now 10 give notice TO all revolutionists of the
Ype which have mentioned that they cannot
come to his country and engage Ia the bust
ness OF reform by murder without being sub
eet to some such penalty as have provided
N this bill 1 notice some of the New York
newspapers have erroneous ideas of the
character of this bill. They seem to think
hat II this bill were to pass the president
you'd be Obliged to eXpe. an alien on the

Is further from my purpose, The president
will not be called upon to act until he has
himself Investigated and become satisfied the
proper occasion exists for the exercise OF this
